The cracking is the secondary problem. What happens when the steering fails on a bad day in the middle of the heads (off Middle Head) with a full load and the vessel is beam on to the swell just as the statistical “rogue wave” (twice the average wave height) on top of a two metre swell hits?
InCat won’t have designed for that and the rage of the General public will consume the Government, Transdev, AMSA and ATSB. There will be nowhere to hide..
Addendum:
Agree 100% - worst case scenario must be covered, despite the 'statistical' probability . Re the 'cracks' again agree – but; and this is only second and possibly even 'third' hand rumour related to the 'quality' of the structural welding. To quote my source verbatim “seen better welding on a garbage truck”. That must be a rumour worthy of investigation, even if only to disprove it. Cheers....'K'.
